Community Plans

We have 34 Community Plans in place covering all of our existing assets and developments in the UK and France.

Our Community Plans are based on a framework which provides direction in line with our Positive Place strategy but which allows local flexibility to adapt the plan according to geographical needs. There are four consistent themes which flow through each Plan - Health and Wellbeing, Regeneration, Skills and Employment for Young People and Enterprise, which align with the focus of the business.
